Under fire from Scott Brown for making a plea for votes at a Martin Luther King Day breakfast this morning, Martha Coakley this evening announced the endorsement of King's son, Martin Luther King III.
In the three minute video, King says in part:
“My father, on Friday, would have been 81 years old, had he lived. And I know that he always believed in a responsible and progressive agenda, an agenda that the President is forging. And we know that when Attorney General – but soon to be Senator-elect – Coakley is elected, that she will be a part of a team that helps to forge the President’s agenda.
“A voteless people is a powerless people, and one of the most important steps we can take is that short step to the ballot box.”
